If you’re not going to Diddy’s White Party…
Okay its officially still summer so here are the Ray Ban “Clubmaster”. Old news I hear you say? These remastered sunglasses, originally introduced by Ray-Ban in 1986, were relaunched in December 2008. Not a lot of sunshine around at that time for some of us, so we have held off until now to get this up here.
Here you can see actors Ed Westwick and Joshua Jackson wearing them casually and slightly more dressed up respectively.
However after us ‘Nerds had resigned ourselves to these two variants of how to wear them, one of a us spotted a guy rocking them with a white tee/Air Jordans. The look was solid my friends.
They are going for very reasonable prices at sunglasses-shop.co.uk, so don’t be afraid to try something new this summer.

Junya Watanabe – 2010 Spring Collection
The latest contemporary offering from Junya Watanabe is very nice indeed and is also a good indication of how Men’s fashion will evolve over the coming months. The collection takes on many of the features of the moment and combines them with a slight twist. Roll ups, Trilby hats and pastel coloured trousers are still in but the new features of the collection are cravats, fitted tweed/check blazers and flat caps. I like how these new features like the typically formal cravat mixes well with a pair of standard fit denim jeans.

See Into the Future?
This time last year there was some discussion about these bad boys. They first came on the ‘Nerd’s radar funnily via the N*E*R*D “Everyone Nose (Remix)” video on your boy Pharrell. Oh how we chuckled to ourselves, then something was brought up. Go back and peep the video for N*E*R*D “She Wants To Move” March 2004 and there he is again sporting some white framed wayfarers. Almost a year before the likes of Ms Moss even thought about such things.
Last year they could be had for £275.00 at Oki-Ni and were released on the 30th September. We suppose only time will tell if people will take to the Gordi La Forge/Urban Music Visionary look.
Summer (sh)jackets
Okay so a bit biased as one of us is wearing this while posting, but hey it fits like a glove and looks great with only the top one/two buttons done up. Its nice and light weight for S/S and although unfortunately not flannel, you can still pretend you’re Easy-E (pre AIDS). Heres what the Topman blog had to say about it:
“If you’re not familiar with this garment type yet, then get to know it quickly as its set to be big in A/W 09. With the formal styling of a shirt shaped straighter and often fabricated like a jacket, this truly is a diverse wardrobe piece. Wear it open with a tee underneath or buttoned to the top with a pair of skinny jeans, however you rock the Shacket it’s a great update for A/W 09.”

Kanye West X Louis Vuitton Sneaker Collaboration
1st July ’09 marks a very special day, not only is it the first day of July (and an extremely scorching hot day at that) and not only is it my first post since… ermmm… a very long time!… but the much anticipated collaboration between Kanye West X Louis Vuitton have finally been released.
If you head on over to your nearest Louis Vuitton store, you’ll be able to choose from three models The Don, The Jasper and the Mr Hudson.
The Don, which i personally think is the better of the bunch, are being relesed in three colourways, black, red and tan/purple. Theirs two details that stand out on this design, firstly the heel tab acts like a guard for tucking in the back of your jeans (genius in my opinion) and the tassles at the end of the laces that give it a more sophisticated look to it (some say it resembles tassles on the end of a drapery… but lets not go there).
The Jasper, a somewhat classic version of the Nike Air Yeezy’s (which to be honest i’m not really digging… although if i was given the Net/Net colourways, you may be lucky enough to see me wear them!), are being released in all black, all white and grey with a pink sole. Once again the heel tab is a nice touch to these hi-tops along with the thin strap towards the top of the tongue.
Finally the Mr Hudson, taking on a boat/deck shoe design, are being released in a all white and a grey/pink colourway. Definately one two rock with your shorts or your roll up trouser/ankle swinger look.
Right!… now comes the important bit, a standard pair of these sneakers will cost you $870 and above and beyond. However nice these sneakers may be, and however nice they will be rockin with your garms this summer, the price tag is way too high, but it’s what you expect from a collaboration between two high fashion labels (debateable maybe, but i think we can call Kanye West a label).
Check out the sneakers below.
